Hey all, this here's my first post in the hallowed Finished Maps section. I created this using Ascension's kick-a$$ tutorial: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4084

Basically, this map shows a pretty large continent, with a human Roman/Greek culture group in the west, a troll steppe barbarian culture in the middle (the Jundai), and a human Chinse/Japanese culture grouping in the east. There's also a bit of Arab and SE Asian thrown into the mix.

I diverged somewhat from Ascension's tutorial; specifically, my borders are different, I did the rivers slightly differently, and I added major roads (the white dotted lines).

Ooh, I like. Are you going to use this for gaming or was it an exercise?

Just an exercise; if anyone wants to snag it for a game, go for it.

Very well done! The lightening turned out well, and I really like that golden font. Congrats on your first finished map!

Thanks!

Yeah, once I put that white color overlay in, it made all the difference in the world. But... that's why Ascension is a master, and I am but a humble grasshoppah. :D
